Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves decreased due to a Board decision to honour a staff contract following the early termination of a commissioned service, a move aligned with the charity's reserves policy. The charity faced significant financial pressures and funding gaps during the year, resulting in staff reductions, but the trustees report that financial controls have been strengthened and the charity remains focused on rebuilding its financial position.
